For millennia of human existence, it has been self-evident to all honest thinkers that no one — no rabbis, no imams, no prophets or priests — can claim with ultimate certainty that there is a god. No matter how much we pray or study or cry out for proof from the depths of our agonized souls, belief in a higher power remains fundamentally a matter of faith, a mystery unanswerable until we either reach that glorious other side, or, god forbid, slip into eternal non-existence without an answer to the deepest question of human life.
